 Looks like it might be Sepsidae...very small fly...windy day, so not as sharp as I'd have liked.
Is it possible to get an ID????

 Thanks for that Phil Smile,
A new species (or at least an unrecorded one) for Shetland. The only Sepsidae recorded up here is Sepsis flavimana according to my Checklist...
Anyone take it to species level???
Regards Roger

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
